Labelling - Label and tick placement option for a Plot

Description:
This attribute controls the appearance of an annotated coordinate grid (drawn with the AST_GRID routine) by determining the strategy for placing numerical labels and tick marks for a Plot.

If the Labelling value of a Plot is "exterior" (the default), then numerical labels and their associated tick marks are placed around the edges of the plotting area, if possible. If this is not possible, or if the Labelling value is "interior", then they are placed along grid lines inside the plotting area.

Type:
String.
Class Applicability:
Plot
All Plots have this attribute.
Notes:
  • The LabelAt(axis) attribute may be used to determine the exact placement of labels and tick marks that are drawn inside the plotting area.
